Here we go folks chapter 2...to everyone reading this and putting this in your alerts thank you very much, but at the same time I need some reviews even if they are negative I need some feedback as to how I'm doing so I can make it better and just so I can know if you even like the story cause I can't read your mind....cause if I could I would be rich hahahahaha!!!!.....em...sorry

I don't own Naruto just the name Mayuri and anything not in the manga that I put in there now on with our regularly scheduled fanfiction.


Tsunade sat by Naruto as she looked over the scans of his skull and remembered the blood vessel she was looking at, seeing that there was an obstruction she scanned him again and compared the two in her mind and saw the bone on the inside of the skull was fractured, it was a small chip that broke off no doubt from the multiple beatings that he's received over the years. She figured that with the vessel being obstructed it cut off circulation to the brain but not enough to kill him but enough to effect his thought processes

If this is right then he would be smarter if his memories weren't destroyed but at the same time it wouldn't have happened without the blow to the head so I can't really punish the Haruno for her actions as she just helped Naruto Tsunade thought as she looked at the scans again but went ahead and ordered a new set of scan to be done to confirm her suspicions, just as she was about to leave Shizune stepped in

"How is he Tsunade-sama?" she asked as she looked at her little brother with concern as she waited for her mistress to speak

"He is fine....." she trailed off she didn't want anyone besides the ones who knew already to know, that included Shizune, if word got out the council would try to get rid her son...not that she would allow it but still the more he stayed out of their sights the better..

"Oh okay, the council wishes to see you in chambers" Shizune said as she looked back at her mistress, she knew that Tsunade was hiding something but it best not to find out as she would tell her in due time but since taking the hat of the Hokage she knew that her mistress had to play things close to the vest so to speak to make sure that the council didn't try to push their agendas on the village.

Damn....those assholes are quick The busty Hokage thought as she responded to her apprentice "Thank you Shizune, can you watch Naruto for a while? when I find Jiraiya I'll have him relieve you" she asked to which Shizune nodded, she knew that her friend would watch over her son like family.


(Council Chambers)

Tsunade strolled into the chambers of the village council, the place she hated more than her own office at times, at least her office wasn't always filled with pompous assholes who think of themselves first and the village second, and the ones who did think of the village first were arrogant in believing the old ways still worked, even when they were proven wrong. She sat at the head of the table a seat reserved for her, the leader of the village, something she was going to make sure that stayed true and not just a figure head.

"Why was this council convened?" Tsunade said as she got comfortable in her chair making sure that she leveled her eyes with everyone in attendance, some who knew their place at the decency to keep their face stoic and docile, but for the select few who thought they had things in hand made no qualms about returned the glare as best they could..

"Hokage-sama, this council has convened to make you aware of it's decisions on the Uchiha retrieval mission" Elder Himura said as he looked at her through his glasses

"Oh? I had no idea the council could make such decision on shinobi matters?" she replied as she knew where this was going but she didn't want to let that on until she knew their intentions..

"Yes first a congratulations must conveyed for a job well done on the team put together and their success in not only bringing Sasuke Uchiha back but also in defeating several Jonin level opponents" Elder Koharu said as she smiled at the Lady Hokage, but Tsunade wasn't buying it for a second, not that she had to let them know that

"I have already extended the same feeling to Shikamaru on a job well done on his first mission as a chunin" Tsunade replied while noticing the elder Nara had a smirk on his face...well as a smirk as a Nara had, no doubt from hearing praise for his son. Then she noticed that several council members, namely almost the entire civilian contingent of them, smiles were gone as she knew the other shoe is about to drop

"However.....the matter of the battle of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha has yet to bet resolved as we haven't reached a desirable decision on the matter" Himura said with disdain laced in his voice

"Really? What seems to be the issue" Besides the fact that my boy beat your beloved Uchiha she said and thought as she waited for them to speak

"The issue of the supposed defection of the Sasuke Uchiha.."one civilian started only to be cut by Tsunade

"Um...I'm sorry but there is no apparent defection had he not been confronted he surely would have made it to his destination of Sound" she said as the same civilian spoke again

"But how do we not know that the cursed seal on the boy affected his judgment?" he asked simply to which another council member, Shibi, head of the Aburame clan, chose this time to answer

"Because we know for a fact that the curse mark doesn't take over or affect negatively unless there is some sort of emotional doorway for it enter with" he said with the rest of the council looking on knowing that it has to be something important for Shibi to speak

"How do we know this? What proof do you have that you are speaking the truth?" the councilman asked as this time Tsume Inuzuka chose this time to speak

"Anko Mitarashi" she said simply as the councilman scoffed at her words "She was the very first curse mark holder, the exact same mark that the Uchiha has, she maybe a little rough around the edges but she has not done have the things that the Uchiha has done nor as she ever used the mark herself"

Tsunade smiled as the councilman shut his mouth on the issue and then chose to speak now that the issue was dead "Sasuke Uchiha will have his curse mark and chakra coils sealed, his shinobi status revoked and will undergo a full psychological battery done by Inoichi-san and a member of he psychology division of the hospital before he is release to the Uchiha compound under strict ANBU guard around the clock" the moment she finished the council was in an uproar until she directed her Killing Intent towards everyone, channeling the memory of Jiraiya catching her in the hotsprings as a switch to trigger it, after a couple of moments she stopped.

"Hokage-sama do you not think you being a little harsh" Danzo said as Tsunade looked at the man, she knew he was up to something he was always up to something but that was what Tsunade was depending on.

"Not at all you all forget that the punish for treason is death, on the contrary councilman Danzo I am being quite lenient especially since his actions have landed several of our shinobi in the hospital further weakening our forces" she said but was thinking Fuck no, I will not let the arrogant Uchiha get off scott free, Sensei may have played your games but I will not...


(Seal Realm)

Naruto and Mayuri sat inside the house and spoke about many things or at least tried to as Naruto was still having a little bit of problem following until the memory of the events they spoke of had gotten to him until he stopped her

"Ano...May-chan is there a way to speed this up a little like can I go to the source in here?" he asked as Mayuri place her clawed hand against her chin as she wondered that herself before stating "I believe you can but I'm not sure..." she got up with Naruto as she walked out the house and began to walk towards a hill. Once on top of the hill they look down and see, according to Naruto, the most awe inspiring sight he's seen yet....Konoha

"Well, well, well, someone has been busy" Mayuri said as she and Naruto walked the distance to the gates "So I made my own village? I have my own village hidden in the leaves" Naruto said as they got to the gate

"No I wouldn't say it's Konohagakure per say....since the village is not hidden in the leaves...this is more like The Village Hidden in the Mind or rather Nentougakure" a new voice said as Naruto and Mayuri turn around to see.....well...Naruto

the face was the same but he was a little taller, kinda like if Naruto didn't have Ramen as his only source of food, his hair was a little shaggy and longer then it is now, more like a mixture of Yondaime and Jiraiya, and his headband had the Uzumaki swirl on the metal plate. His clothing was like Yondaime Hokage or rather his father but the coat was Orange with Dark Red flames at the bottom and he wasn't wearing a shinobi jacket but a black long sleeve shirt, pants and sandals underneath the coat. Naruto and Mayuri couldn't see it but the back of the coat had Shodaime Toukage in black Kanji sewn on the back.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked as he looked at himself to which he answered

"You, well another side of you, more importantly the side that didn't get destroyed" the other Naruto said

"Okay....but what would I call you, besides me?" The Original Naruto asked as Mayuri merely looked at the exchange, far as she knew he only created the seal valley, as she referred to it, and nothing else she knew that he wasn't as dumb as let people believe, but to keep something like this from her was a testament to how he felt about her before the blow.

"How about Minato?" he said as Naruto looked at him

"Why should I let you be named after my father?" the original asked

"Because I'm your more analytical side the part of you that comes up with some of the strategies you use and I'm the part of your that loves to learn and create jutsus" Minato said

"Like my father, so your my what? My subconscious?" Naruto uttered as Mayuri saw that the fill in the blank reaction time was faster than before.

"For lack of a better term...yes, now for the answers your seeking...come" Minato said as the gates opened as he continued to speak "This Village was created by your subconscious mind, or me as a way to help your conscious or you" pointing at Naruto "remember things better....like landmarks and such, this village is populated by your memories of people and some of your shadow clones" Naruto stopped for a moment

"Wait, wait, wait what do you mean my shadow clones are here, aren't they me?" Naruto asked as Minato looked by at him and smiled

"Yes they are us but as we learned the shadow clone jutsu I noticed that some of your clones that you made popped up here in village, I didn't tell the old you because well I have no idea why they are here, still don't the most I've figured out is that some of them are associated with time that we underwent a change or made a decision."

"You mean when a life defining event occurred?" Mayuri said as she finally decided to get in the conversation

"Yea...for the most part they just hang out, but on to the matter you came here, you wanna know why your getting memories back slowly yea?" Minato asked as Naruto nodded his head, Minato stopped and sighed before he spoke

"The main reason is that I'm trying only give you memories that will help us, we've had a rough life Naruto and with our teammate's blow to the head your old persona or consciousness was destroyed leaving only me but the mind cannot survive with only intellect or rational alone, well we wouldn't because that would turn us into a emo-bastard and our precious people don't want that" Minato concluded

"If that's the case then why hold some of the memories back?" Naruto asked

"Because they hurt Naruto and I'm not sure we, me and you, can survive them again....." Minato said as he trailed off

"But Minato how come I've never noticed Shin before I mean I explored most of the valley and the seal" pointing at the necklace with the representation of the one on Naruto's stomach at the end which somehow is long enough to sit between her breasts "doesn't restrict me from moving"

"Well I don't know that part, the most I can guess is that when I tried to save our memories from completely being destroyed that I raised the place to where he can access it" Minato reasoned as Naruto decided to jump into the conversation now

"Okay so now that that's done, how can I get more info, or get it quicker than just fill in the blank, I mean it's rather irritating for one and it's slow" Naruto asked to which Mayuri lightly laughed

"Same old' Naruto" she said as Minato began to speak again "Well not only am I working on that but I'm actually building on this village to give you more thought processes" he looked at Naruto and saw him blink the I don't know what you said blink "I'm making it possible to understand things better and before you ask I couldn't do before because something was blocking me but now I've got a lot room to work with" he finished as Naruto nodded his head finally

"Ah okay then..." he started only to be cut off by Mayuri

"Yes you can be smarter, but right now there are things I have to tell you before you wake up so we have to go" Mayuri said as she grabbed his shoulder and pulled Naruto out of the village

"But why can't we do it here?" he asked to which Mayuri kept dragging him out of his subconscious...


(Meanwhile in Council Chambers)

"I still believe that this punishment is a still harsh" one of the councilmen said as Tsunade shook her head

"You may believe that but I believe this council would have me pardon his actions completely, made no mistake the only reason he is still alive is because I know this village's infatuation with Kekkei Genkai, which is also the reason why after the all the actions I've stated here have taken place I will enact the C.R.A. (Clan Restoration Act) for the Uchiha Clan so that Konoha can have the Sharingan back within the village walls" Tsunade stated leading to other members of the council to agree with her statement before the Koharu began to speak

"Now onto to the matter of Naruto Uzumaki..." with this the council began to speak again

"What of him, he is still in recovery like most of the team for that mission" Tsunade said knowing where this was going but she still wanted to see where they were going with this

"We are undecided on the matter of his continued existence..." Koharu started before the shinobi council members began to speak up in his defense before Tsunade began to speak again

"Excuse me? what brought this on" she asked to which Himura took over

"He represents a danger to the village, if the report he filed is any indication" he stated

"What was wrong with his report?" Tsunade asked, getting tired of them acting as if they run the village and not her

"He did not state his use of the Kyuubi's chakra but we have report of the it's use, that and the fact of the seal deteriorating is a concern for all of us, especially for the village itself" he said

"Maybe you haven't read the injury report of Naruto or maybe you ignored it while trying to find a way to get rid a loyal shinobi of this village" Tsunade started but stopped as a civilian laughed at the last statement earning him a glare before she continued "He has suffered a full on Chidori, which is a A-rank assassination jutsu through his shoulder and a deep wound to the chest by a gazing of the very same jutsu and you're talking about banishing him?" she said in utter disbelief

"I understand your affection for the Kyuubi container but this is not about your affection this is about the village, we all understand this is a difficult change for you to think of othe-" Koharu stated as same amount of killer intent as last time that came from the Hokage made everyone pale

"HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF THINKING OF MYSELF, WHEN YOU ALL ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF A SHINOBI OF THE LEAF THAT HAS SERVED FAITHFULLY EVEN AFTER ALL THE BULLSHIT THIS VILLAGE HAS PUT HIM THROUGH, HE IS THE REASON I CAME BACK TO THE VILLAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE" Tsunade voiced boomed through the room, making several council members regret bringing up this subject as they had no idea it would this effect on the woman, slamming her hands on the old oak wood table the table didn't stand a chance against her strength as it shattered underneath her rage. Elder Koharu however didn't budge as she figured that the Hokage wouldn't dare lay a hand on her

"His Service is not in question, the safety of the village is" she said simply as Danzo saw a chance to go for the kill so that he could enable his own plans for the boy

"We must also question his Mental Stability at this point as well" he said, instantly calming the rage-filled Hokage as well having several council members question just what Danzo was talking about

"I have heard reports of the Uzumaki child suffering from a case of amnesia, if he doesn't remember who he is then how can we not be assured that the Kyuubi will not possess the body and continue it's attack from 14 years ago" he said as he saw he had most of the council on his side for what he was planning

"Oh really? Where did you get these reports" Tsunade stated simply as she regained control of her senses, knowing she needed them now more than ever, she hated politics with a passion but she knew it was apart of the job.

"Concerned Nurses had informed us of his condition" Danzo stated looking at Tsunade with a smirk on his face as he backed her into a corner Soon I shall have the Kyuubi brat among my ROOT and with his memory gone he's as good as a blank slate, I can make him into the weapon he was always meant to be if not for that fool Hiruzen wanting him to have a childhood HA! He has been a weapon the minute the beast was sealed he thought as he looked at the Hokage

Tsunade had to think for a moment as she didn't anticipate them knowing about his condition but them knowing now gave them more ammo, but she didn't have a chance to think longer before

"I move that we banish the Kyuubi Container for the safety of the village due to his mental instability" One councilman said as the motion was quickly gaining favor giving Tsunade less time to think

"I second -" another councilman spoke before Tsunade cut him off

"Wait just a minute here! I will not allow this council to over step their bounds and overrule me on a shinobi matter, the facts are yes Naruto Uzumaki has a suffered a blow to the head which has resulted in a case of memory loss however we have no idea if that loss is permanent or not. I myself checked on him today and will examine him tomorrow to see if there is any improvement. At the same time simply banishing him would not only be foolish but it would also be dangerous for Konoha" she stated to the council as the waited for her to explain only to hear the voice of Hiashi Hyuga instead

"I believe what Hokage-sama is saying that if merely banish the boy once word gets out that he not only is banished but also has lost his memory the other villages would instantly attempt to retrieve him and then proceed to brainwash and train the boy turning him into a weapon against the very village that banished him" he said calmly as the effect of his words were instant, the civilians looked absolutely terrified the ultimate thought of a well-trained, vengeful Kyuubi-brat laying waste to this village was a nightmare.

"Exactly what I was implying thank you Hiashi-san" she said with a bow of her head, using Hiashi's take over of the explanation to get her head together before she proceeded, "The issue you all seem to have and also tend to, on a regular basis, forget about is the seal is what keeps the Kyuubi imprisoned not Naruto himself. If that were the fact I'm sure that he would have released the Kyuubi long ago after one of nearly 200+ attacks and acts of discrimination against him. The mere fact that the Kyuubi has not attacked is proof that even with a lack of memory he still holds it in place but I will have Jiraiya look at the seal when he arrives and I would also ask Inoichi-san to accompany myself tomorrow as well when I examine him" she finished, seeing that she had no opposition (besides a fuming Danzo) she closed the issue and brought a close to the meeting.

This is getting bad, Danzo is after my son and worse yet he almost had him tonight as matter of fact they all almost got what they wanted by banishing him I think it's time to show them all why the Hokage is a position to be sought after and feared, and I think I'll start with Danzo, Sarutobi Sensei let him have his way for too long Tsunade thought as she left the council chambers, walking into her office she takes out a rune, a artifact as old as crystal ball and another favorite of her Sensei, channeling some chakra into it she activates it casting a stiff pregnant silence over the room effectively rendering all of the listening devices useless. Runes were great for overpowering seals while leaving them in place so that the still function after the Rune is deactivated, pressing a button underneath her desk designed for such a purpose she sees the designated ANBU step into the room "Thank you for responding Tiger" the Lady Hokage said as the ANBU officer bowed to her rising as he spoke

"It is my honor Tsunade-sama" he said simply, she knew from her former days here that he was a man of few words when in ANBU mode

"I know you served Sarutobi-Sensei unquestionably and proved your devotion to him and it is that reason that I have called you here tonight" she spoke getting his full attention before continuing "I'm sure your aware of a renegade faction within your ranks who seem to be only loyal to Councilman Danzo?" she asked, receiving a nod from the ANBU she continue "I also recall from reading Sensei's reports that you recommended that the rogue faction be squashed before they cause Konoha's downfall" she commented

"Permission to speak freely Lady Hokage?" he asked as he reached for his mask as he knew protocol for speaking freely was removal of his mask

"Granted Tiger" she said simply watching the mask come and expose his face to her before speaking again

"ROOT will be a problem for the mere fact that their numbers have increased, but it will not be impossible" he said

"That was not my plan Tenzo but I will take what you said into account, no what I have in mind is something far more disconcerting for the leader of this group" she said as a smirk appeared on her face as her prankster side came out Naruto's not the only prankster in the family she thought mischievously as she began to explain her plans for cripple manipulator....


(Seal Valley)

Mayuri and Naruto stood by the stream in the valley, Mayuri was trying to find a way to explain the info he didn't know....

"Ano...Naruto do you know who your mother was?" Mayuri asked, looking for that same look of realization that she got before but this time, much to her disdain, she didn't receive it she only got a blank look in return "Okay then Naruto sit down" this is gonna be hard to explain but it had to be done since she told the Lady Hokage that she was going to do it, Even though she should be doing but since she never did before she probably wasn't gonna do it now Mayuri thought as she began to explain, in detail, the missing parts of Naruto's Parentage..

..:TBC:..


Before you say anything about the deviations in Tsunade well look at it this way a mother can and will do some out of character things to protect their young, as for Danzo well I'm of the mind that Sandaime did know about Danzo but didn't do anything because he wasn't a threat but Tsunade isn't Sandaime so she isn't gonna let him scheme away against her and the village under the pretense of "For the greater good of Konoha" BS but keep reading to see what happens to everyone "favorite" crippled manipulator

and again gimme that feedback...I need that to prove my existence....wait I didn't mean that.....(looks around and see Gaara at his comp) Hey GAARA stay off my computer!!!
